The Picture clock with Alster Panorama also known as Coffeeparty on the Alster with view to Lombardbridge over the city is a picture clock or music box painting - an oil painting of a landscape scene with integrated mechanical clock, automata, and music box that is in the collection of the Hamburg Museum. 74 cm x 89 cm in size, it was made between 1827 and 1830 by unknown group of artists and craftsmen and was restored by the museum and watchmaker Helmut Tüxen in 2012. The foreground of the painting shows a group of people drinking coffee in a park on the banks of the Außenalster lake. They are accompanied by musicians and children. The background shows the Lombardsbrücke and behind that a panorama of the city of Hamburg. From left-to-right the recognisable buildings are: St. James' Church A windmill on the Alster glacis The Hamburg workhouse St Peter's church St. Catherine's Church St. Nicholas' church These landmarks indicates that the scene is set on the Western bank of the Außenalster and oriented directly towards the South at approximately the location where the present day Straße Fontenay reaches the shoreline. St Peters', St. Nicholas', and the workhouse were all destroyed in the Great Fire of Hamburg, 12–15 years after the painting was made. The wooden Lombard Bridge was replaced in the 1860s with the version known today and in 1953 the parallel Kennedy Bridge was built. It now obscures the Lombard Bridge from the painting's viewpoint.
